Windsor teaches reading through a wonderful program called Pathways to Reading. PTR teaches reading through five steps. Phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. This is taught through a majority of our day. They see PTR during centers, small group, large group, and shared reading.

A first grade teacher in Blue Springs put together a great packet on PTR. It includes vowel town, screech guides, as well as comprehension guides. Please feel free to read if you have any questions.
